The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 207 Attempting to Visualize Mahakala and the Burial Ceremony

The malevolent aura and corpse energy shrouding the village showed no signs of dissipating; instead, they became even more intense.

Lightning flashed again through the dark clouds that obscured the moonlight, making the atmosphere in the village even more oppressive.

The roars of zombies continued to echo from the front of the Wang family's ancestral home. To this day, the vampire zombies and the Wang family's zombies have yet to determine a victor.

Many of the ghost faces inside the Wang family's ancestral home had already been killed, but now they reappeared, their eyes flashing with an eerie light as they looked at Li Zhen from all directions.

Ignoring the stares, Li Zhen lowered his head and looked at the simple topographical map he had drawn for a while.

There are multiple locations in the village where the Yin energy is concentrated, and he must choose the most suitable one.

After the red-eyed bat flew back onto the banshee, Li Zhen led the banshee and the mahjong ghost down from the grave.

Li Zhen stopped when he reached the small pond next to the ancestral home.

Looking around, he walked into an abandoned courtyard nearby.

The courtyard seemed to be abandoned. As soon as Li Zhen pushed open the door, a musty, fishy smell hit him, making him feel uncomfortable.

Li Zhen fanned himself in front of his nose and looked into the courtyard.

The courtyard was littered with a large number of cow skulls, almost filling the entire courtyard.

The fishy smell that Li Zhen detected was the smell emanating from these skulls.

Behind the skull, the original house had collapsed, leaving only some foundations, with a few locust trees planted between the foundations.

Upon arriving at the base of the locust tree, Li Zhen noticed that the soil there had an unusual pale red color.

Li Zhen picked up some soil and smelled it, confirming that this was one of the most important nodes in the village.

Because of the rush, Li Zhen did not prepare the necessary magical artifacts and tools on the way.

But what he needed wasn't anything unusual; he should be able to find it in this village.

After sending the Mahjong Ghost to find him something, Li Zhen put down the large black Buddha statue he was holding and sat down against a locust tree.

He summoned the banshee to his side and took a jar from behind her.

The village has a strong aura of yin and corpses, but it lacks a bit of evil energy.

He took some of the tentacles of the demon fetus, and put the blood of the red-eyed bat, his own blood, and some other things into the jar.

Li Zhen recited a few incantations, and some small white bubbles appeared in the jar placed on the ground.

As Li Zhen chanted his incantation, the foam rose little by little to the mouth of the jar.

Glancing at the phantom of the demon that appeared behind him, Li Zhen dug up some soil from the area shrouded in the demon's shadow and sprinkled it into the jar.

The bubbles inside the jar kept rising and falling.

Li Zhen dug a hole in the ground and buried the jar in it.

As soon as he filled the pit with soil, he saw the soil around the edge slowly turn into an eerie black color and continue to spread outwards.

The evil aura emanating from Li Zhen will spread from this point to the entire village, making the village even more eerie.

In this way, he should be able to ensure that no one can come in and disturb him while he is buried here.

The Mahjong Ghost dragged over several unrotted corpses, then disappeared again.

After glancing at the corpse, Li Zhen looked away.

He moved the statue of the Great Black Buddha Mother in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then opened the garment covering the Great Black Buddha Mother.

The malevolence of the Great Black Buddha Mother immediately emanated from the statue, causing Li Zhen to be dazed for a moment.

But at this moment, the extremely active Damasura immediately reacted, casting its shadow over the statue of the Great Black Mother.

Shaking his head, Li Zhen looked at the head of the Great Black Buddha Mother.

I wonder if the Great Black Mother in this state can meet the standards for visualization?

Now is the time to give it a try...

If he missed this opportunity, Li Zhen knew that it would be extremely difficult to make the demons within him active to this extent once he left this place, especially since Damasulu already had some problems.

If you want to visualize it then, it will be very troublesome.

Such a special environment is rare and hard to come by...

Reaching out, Li Zhen removed the cloth covering the head of the Great Black Buddha Mother.

Li Zhen's vision went black for a moment.

Damasuru reacted even more violently, and a muffled, indistinct prayer emerged from the shadows.

Around Damasulu, primitive and bloody runes appeared one after another. The runes, like living insects, slowly crawled and spread on the ground and locust trees, and even the body of the Great Black Buddha Mother was gradually covered with these runes.

The malice emanating from the Great Black Buddha Mother was immediately suppressed.

The face of the Great Black Buddha Mother suddenly appeared before Li Zhen's eyes.

To be precise, it wasn't a face, but a hole, or rather a pit, shrinking inwards in concentric circles until it became a black dot, like a hole leading to an unknown distance, or like a special eye.

This form only lasted for a short time.

The circles on the face of the Great Black Buddha Mother turned into wriggling maggots, which kept crawling on her face.

Li Zhen's eyes became unfocused again.

Even though his primordial spirit was far stronger than that of ordinary people and could resist the invasion of such evil thoughts, his body still trembled uncontrollably in the face of the naked malice of the Great Black Buddha Mother.

The statue itself is not frightening; what is frightening is the flesh and blood of the Great Black Buddha Mother within the statue, and the evil thoughts of the Great Black Buddha Mother that constantly emanate from it.

Li Zhen struggled to control his body's instinctive reactions. After adjusting his mindset, he looked at the statue of the Great Black Buddha Mother using the visualization method of "the sublimation of evil spirits in the five elements".

Of his five internal organs, the liver, spleen, and kidneys have already been occupied, leaving only the heart, which corresponds to fire, and the lungs, which correspond to metal.

Following his intuition, Li Zhen associated the Great Black Buddha Mother with his own lungs.

According to the requirements of the "Five Elements Evil Spirit Sublimation Method", Li Zhen should make sufficient preparations before visualization, such as preparing talismans corresponding to the lung metal element.

However, this time Li Zhen was not formally performing the "Five Elements Evil Spirit Sublimation Method" ceremony, but rather trying out the initial visualization of this method.

If you can successfully visualize the Great Black Mother into your heart and soul, it means that you have reached the standard of visualization.

Conversely, if an unexpected event occurs during visualization, it means that the visualization of the Great Black Mother has not met the required standard.

In the current environment, Li Zhen is not worried about any unexpected events arising from the failure of visualization.

Whenever an unexpected event occurs, Dama Suru will suppress the evil thoughts of the Great Black Buddha Mother, preventing any major danger from arising.

In Li Zhen's mind, the Great Black Buddha Mother gradually took shape.

Then, he visualized the Great Black Mother entering his body, transforming into a sharp metallic substance that corresponded to his internal organs.

A torrent of malevolent thoughts surged from the Great Black Buddha Mother, relentlessly rushing towards Li Zhen. Just as the Great Black Buddha Mother was about to enter Li Zhen's lungs, a strange "squeaking" sound suddenly rang in Li Zhen's consciousness, and then the thoughts of the Great Black Buddha Mother and his lungs shattered simultaneously within Li Zhen's mind.

The Great Black Buddha Mother's body swayed slightly, and her two arms in front of her exploded at the same time, while the tiny cracks on her head widened a little more.

After a moment of darkness, Li Zhen returned to normal. He picked up the cloth from the ground and immediately covered the head of the Great Black Buddha Mother with it. Then he covered the Great Black Buddha Mother with the clothes that were on the ground.

Only after completely covering the Great Black Buddha Mother did Li Zhen finally catch his breath.

Facing the Great Black Buddha Mother directly still puts too much pressure on his current physical body.

Wiping away the cold sweat, Li Zhen closed his eyes.

The failure of this visualization was naturally due to the fact that the Great Black Buddha Mother was not strong enough. As soon as the concept was formed in Li Zhen's consciousness, it was defeated by other evil spirits.

Li Zhen rubbed his temples.

The visualization method in the "Five Elements Evil Spirit Sublimation Method" is different from the visualization method in Tantric Buddhism.

In Tantric visualization practices, there are no requirements regarding the ferocity of the object of visualization. What is visualized is the spirit of the object, and the ultimate goal is to unite with the object of visualization and experience the Buddha's intention.

While the "Five Elements Evil Spirit Sublimation Method" also involves visualization, it requires not only visualizing the other party's spirit but also directly borrowing a portion of the other party's power to achieve a balance and promote the sublimation of Li Zhen's primordial spirit power.

Compared to the visualization methods of Tantric Buddhism, this kind of visualization method is actually a quick way to achieve enlightenment, and it leans towards a heretical path.

The evil thoughts remaining in the Great Black Mother are not strong enough to meet the standard for visualization. So we can only make the Great Black Mother stronger, or give up visualizing the Great Black Mother.

If the choice is to make the Great Black Buddha Mother stronger, regardless of how strong she becomes, suppressing the strengthened Great Black Buddha Mother would be a major problem...

Feeling somewhat agitated, Li Zhen stopped thinking about it.

He got up, chose another spot under a locust tree, and dug a hole in the ground.

The pit was deeper than before, and Li Zhen discovered that there was a layer of white bones buried underground.

These skeletons were enormous and clearly not human; rather, they were the skeletons corresponding to the bull heads buried here.

The malevolent energy seeping from the ground was even more concentrated.

Li Zhen keenly sensed that these Yin and Sha energies contained some twisted and evil energy.

This must have been influenced by his magic.

not enough……

Add fuel to the fire...

Li Zhen moved the Great Black Buddha Mother into the pit and buried her there.

Although the Great Black Buddha Mother is sealed away, her malice continues to spread outwards.

After Dama Su Lu falls silent, this evil thought will grow stronger and stronger. At that time, the entire village will be filled with the evil thoughts of the Great Black Buddha Mother, and unexpected changes will surely occur.

After Li Zhen buried himself, it was unlikely that anyone who entered the village would be able to escape.

Of course, the most crucial moment in his burial this time was on the third day.

He will lose consciousness during these three days.

Three days later, Li Zhen's consciousness will slowly return, and even if his body has not fully recovered, he will be able to crawl out of the ground at any time.

Even now, Li Zhen still hasn't gleaned any information from the runes about when the mission will arrive.

This time, the interval between missions will likely be longer...

Even if it's not strong, it won't have a significant impact on Li Zhen.

Even if he is forcibly summoned into the mission world while he is unconscious, there shouldn't be any problems if he is prepared and has given instructions to Mahjong Ghost and others.

Standing up, Li Zhen chose a place to bury himself.

The Mahjong Ghost was still collecting things for him in the village, so he dug a shallow pit here himself.

Considering that Mahjong Ghosts, Vampires, and the like cannot stray too far from you, otherwise they might not be taken along when you are brought to the mission world.

After several attempts, Li Zhen determined that these things needed to be kept as close to him as possible.

So he sent a message to the Mahjong Ghost, asking him to find some waterproof cloth and set up a simple tent where he had dug the hole.

After a short rest, Li Zhen dragged the corpse that the Mahjong Ghost had found to his front, took some corpse oil from the corpse, and then tried to remove some necessary organs, burying them in the four corners of the pit he had dug.

He then prepared the ink he needed, mainly using cinnabar and blood, and skillfully drew runes on his body.

Even with cinnabar present, Li Zhen didn't experience the stinging sensation he usually felt, and the runes this time weren't significantly different from the last ones. Therefore, drawing them this time was much faster.

After writing "Flesh and blood turn to mud, then the spirit shines! The Yin decree, rot and new flesh grows..." on a clean white cloth that the Mahjong Ghost had found, Li Zhen placed the cloth at the bottom of the pit.

Last time, Yuan Zhenxia was there to watch over the ceremony, but this time no one is watching, so Li Zhen needs to choose a ceremony that doesn't require him to do anything in the middle.

This requires him to do more preparation beforehand.

While waiting for the Mahjong Ghost to find him something, Li Zhen made preparations.

When the Mahjong Ghost can't find what he needs, he needs to think of something that can be a substitute.

It took Li Zhen an hour and a half to roughly complete the preparations.

The vampire over there had already decided the outcome of its battle with that zombie.

Li Zhen sat cross-legged under the locust tree, waiting for the vampire to return.

A dozen minutes after he issued the summons, the vampire appeared in Li Zhen's sight.

At this point, the bandages on the vampire's body began to break down further, and it dragged them behind it.

More of its skin, covered in scarlet slime, was revealed to Li Zhen, especially its arms, from the elbows to the wrists, where there were no bandages.

It looked somewhat disheveled, but its aura was stronger than before.

As it walked, it was chewing on a hand.

Without a doubt, the vampire won the fight, and it devoured several of the other zombies.

However, at the last moment, Li Zhen stopped the vampire's rampage, preventing it from directly killing the zombie that was actually a member of the Wang family.

That zombie had completely lost its humanity and become a pure zombie. Leaving it here would naturally make it the outermost guard of this village.

With vampires around, that zombie would never dare to approach this area, and anyone who enters the village will first face that zombie.

Killing that zombie wouldn't change the eeriness of the village, but it would lose some of its deterrent effect.

Once Li Zhen regains consciousness, the vampire can completely devour the zombie.

Most of the wings had been removed by the vampires; that zombie was merely food for the vampires that hadn't yet consumed it...
